The second point is larger: ‘the Shakespearian use of English’. Dr. Leavis has always insisted on this ‘exploratory-creative use of words’—what Mr. 2 And in contrasting Donne with Milton, Dr. 4)Donne's ‘is the Shakespearian use of English; one might say that it is the English use’. In that case, what of Dr. ’1 But if Johnson's poetry can be great and yet as remote as possible from the Shakespearian use of language, why can’t Milton's too? Not that this inconsistency is just a chance to crow over Dr.
And far from its being ‘only Milton’ who could have brought in such a story without our wanting to strike it out, very many others could have done so. Of course, we can then turn the whole attack round, and accuse Milton of being stale. But that was not what Mr. Eliot wished to call to our attention. Hardly a recantation, then.
